Description
"Mix The Godfather with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... [a] true-crime study of one of the most coldblooded murderers in history" -- Kirkus Reviews
The New York Times-bestselling author of Gaspipe and The Ice Man, Philip Carlo returns with a hair-raising portrait of arguably the most depraved psychopath in the history of the Mafia, mob enforcer Tommy "Karate" Pitera. The Butcher tells the riveting true story of a hit man who loved his work too much -- a maniac believed responsible for more than sixty remarkably brutal murders -- whom even organized crime's most cold-blooded assassins feared. Another riveting journey into the darkest corners of the underworld, Carlo's The Butcher is destined to be a true crime classic alongside Wiseguys by Nicholas Pileggi and Underboss by Peter Maas.
"A veteran chronicler of the mafiosi, Carlo turns his attention to Tommy Karate Pitera, a brutal capo in the Bonanno crime family who allegedly killed 60 people... [A] scalding depiction of this mob mad man." -- Publishers Weekly
